Arena .plb picture files
Arena’s picture libraries (*.plb files) contain images that you may use for entity, resource,
and global pictures. You can use the images in these libraries for any of these three types
of picture animation. You also can copy these pictures into your own libraries, draw new
pictures in Arena’s picture editor, or add pictures from the Arena Symbol Factory to any
.plb file. View the online help topic “Animating Objects” to learn more about adding
symbols to your picture libraries.
The Basic Process library supplies a set of default entity pictures that are preloaded into
your Arena models. When you start a model, Arena adds the pictures from BasicPro-
cess.plb to the entity picture list (see the Edit > Entity Pictures menu). Also, the
predefined names associated with these pictures are added to the entity picture list (e.g.,
Picture.Report) in the Entity module and Entity picture placement dialog.
